The new device — designed for students, businesses and casual users — will target people who primarily browse the web, work on documents or conduct light media editing, according to people familiar with the matter. Apple is also targeting would-be iPad buyers who might prefer a traditional laptop experience instead.
Code-named J700, the machine is currently in active testing at Apple and in early production with overseas suppliers. The Cupertino, California-based company plans to launch it in the first half of next year, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the product hasn’t been announced.
Apple plans to sell the new machine for well under $1,000 by using less-advanced components. The laptop will rely on an iPhone processor and a lower-end LCD display. The screen will also be the smallest of any current Mac, coming in at slightly below the 13.6-inch one used in the MacBook Air.
This would mark the first time that Apple has used an iPhone processor in a Mac, rather than a chip designed specifically for a computer. But internal tests have shown that the smartphone chip can perform better than the Mac-optimized M1 used in laptops as recently as a few years ago.

Bloombergで報じられていますね
主にウェブ閲覧、文書作成、あるいは軽いメディア編集を行うユーザーをターゲットにしているそう
アップル関係者によると、来年(2026年)前半に発売する予定とのこと
新型MacBookを1,000ドルを大きく下回る価格で販売する計画。このノートパソコンはiPhone用のプロセッサとローエンドの液晶ディスプレイを搭載
画面サイズは現行のMacの中で最も小さく、MacBook Airの13.6インチを下回る。
iPhone用のプロセッサを搭載するのが安い理由の様ですが、数年前までノートパソコンに搭載されていたMac向けに最適化されたM1チップよりも優れた性能を発揮するそうです
